Fun Times

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

We had a great time visiting with my family last week. Andrew absolutely had a blast hanging with his cousins and I enjoyed the time with my mom and sister. We did a lot of shopping, eating and watching the kids play. One evening we dressed the kiddos in Auburn gear and took some cute [...]

Story-time

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Today Andrew and I met our friends David and Jenn at the Library for story-time. There were kids everywhere and I think Andrew was a little overwhelmed at first. He liked the music and he really listened to the stories. He loved getting to hang out with his friend David. He even gave him a [...]

7 and 8 month Updates

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

I apologize for the lack of blogging over the past month. I have definitely been too busy to sit down and write out my thoughts. Since my last blog, I have been watching an additional baby. Just call my home a daycare!!! It really has not been as difficult as I thought it [...]

Nursery

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Even though Baby Boy doesn’t have a nursery yet, I have already decided on the pattern/colors that I want to use. Below is a picture of the set. Unfortunately you can’t find it on my baby registry because Babies R Us does not carry the Banana Fish line. The first time I saw it, I [...]

We are having a BOY!!!

Monday, April 30th, 2007

On Friday we went to the Doctor to get our second sonogram. This one showed us all of the organs as well as the gender. Yes, we are very excited that we will extend the Russell name one more generation by having a baby boy!! The even more exciting news is that the sonogram showed [...]

18 Weeks….Life Update

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Tuesday marked 18 weeks in our pregnancy. It has been an exciting journey so far. The morning sickness has slowly gone away and I have started feeling much better. This week I have been getting really bad indigestion. I just thought that it was a normal part of pregnancy until my mom talked to my [...]

16 Weeks

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Tomorrow Baby will be 16 weeks old. That is about 4 months!! I am amazed at the growth of the little guy or girl. Baby should be about 4.5″ and weight almost 3.5 ounces. That is still small but at this point he or she will continue to grow pretty rapidly until birth (as will [...]

Bama Here We Come…

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

This afternoon, David and I are headed south to visit my family. I have really been looking forward to this trip for over a month now. I miss my family terribly and it will be great to be able to hang out for a few days. I am also looking forward to the food. I [...]

Baby Russell’s First Pictures!

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Above are pictures from our first sonogram. It was such a great experience. He or she was still for the first 30 seconds and then started moving about. “Baby” kept pushing his or her feet against the wall and then sliding. It was so awesome that I even had a couple of tears come out. [...]

Baby is growing

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

As of today, we are 12 weeks along. The baby is about 2 inches long and weighs almost an ounce. His or her brain is growing rapidly which causes the head to be proportionately larger than the body. Crazy to think about huh? It’s also interesting to know that the baby has started to practice [...]
